Inter Milan Boss Cristian Chivu Set To Enter Select Club Of Serie A Managers | OneFootball

Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu is close to winning his first managerial title in Serie A in his maiden season at San Siro. 

According to La Repubblica via FCInterNews, the 45-year-old is on the verge of joining an exclusive club of Serie A managers.

Beppe Marotta’s decision to appoint Cristian Chivu as Simone Inzaghi’s successor last summer raised a few eyebrows.

However, the Romanian coach has defied his lack of experience in senior management, bringing Inter to the brink of their 21st Scudetto.

Indeed, the Nerazzurri sit nine points clear of second-placed Napoli heading into the last six matches of the season.

Inter Milan Manager Cristian Chivu Set to Equal Impressive Serie A Feat

With Inter set to win the title, Chivu could become the second-youngest manager to lift the Scudetto after Antonio Conte.

Indeed, Conte was 42 when he led Juventus to his first Serie A title in 2012.

Furthermore, Chivu could become only the fourth manager in Serie A history to win the Scudetto before the age of 50.

In addition to Conte, Massimiliano Allegri and Roberto Mancini are the only other managers to achieve that feat.

While Allegri won the title with AC Milan in 2011, Mancini steered Inter to the throne in 2006.
